I feel a little bad writing up a full list of what I don't like about Go since I haven't used it enough to be as informed as I should be to write such a list. But... since you asked.
No generics, error-handling obscuring flow of logic, dependency-management, the compiler complains about not-used vars and imports (which is great, except when you're prototyping) it should be togglable, it felt like I was producing a lot of code to do something small (I felt the same about C, but not about e.g. Nim), and then, I think the little oddities I mentioned in my comments on simplicity added up to make me feel like I was building an inelegant solution.
That's off the top of my head. There were possibly other gripes, and I am possibly mis-remembering, so take it all with a grain of salt.
- logicallee 9y agoHey, thanks! This is exactly what I was asking from you and the fact that these points remain in your mind despite being distant memories makes your reply particularly interesting. (What I mean is if if you worked with Go every day you likely would not have the same perspective anymore.) so thank you, perfect reply.
